Easy Summer Meals

Give your summer meals a healthy boost by incorporating seasonal produce into your favorite recipes. All it takes is a little culinary creativity to whip up a nutritious dish with the many in-season Michigan fruits and vegetables available during the summer.

Fish tacos: Preheat a grill to high. Sprinkle the fish on both sides with chile powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt; drizzle both sides with 2 teaspoons olive oil. Brush the grill with olive oil, then add the fish and grill until marked and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the fish to a plate and break into bite-size pieces.

Finally, toss the lettuce with 2 tablespoons of the juices from the watermelon salsa and a pinch of salt. Warm the tortillas on the grill and fill with the fish, watermelon salsa, avocado and lettuce. Serve with lime wedges.

Heat oil in a large skillet. Add onion, bell pepper, and poblano and sauté 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add beef and marinade to vegetables and cook 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
